He added that he met Olabisi during his youth, he was very poor and also had come from a poor family background.

Olabisi on the other hand, was from a privileged home. At the time they met, she was living with her uncle who was grooming her for one of his colleagues, who worked as a driver at the Nigeria Railway Corporation.

Olabisi however refused to give in to her uncle’s demands as her heart was already with Olusola Ojo and she was ready to stay with him, regardless of his poor background.

For refusing to do as he requested, Olabisi was reportedly victimized by her uncle, but that did not dissuade her, as she stood her grounds that she would marry no other person but Ojo.

According to Pa Ojo, they lived so happily that his in-laws forgot to ask him for the dowry of their daughter.
